Marseille were handed an injury boost on Thursday when Andre Ayew returned to training ahead of the Ligue 1 clash against Sochaux.

The midfielder was a major doubt for the clash at the Stade Velodrome after knee his knee last Sunday during their opener at Stade Reims.

He had a personal training on Wednesday under the supervision of physical trainer Christophe Manouvrier.

But on Thursday he had full-scale training with the rest of the Marseille squad.

Marseille coach Elie Baup also needs to get the 22-year-old full fit for next Wednesday’s Europa League play-offs against Moldovan side Sheriff Tiraspol.
